Comments Thread For: Roach Admits: Floyd Mayweather is King of This Era

[texasboi15]

You dumb fcks know nothing

As you lose your mind one of the first things to go is personal agenda.

And for those making fun of Roach's illness may God have mercy on you

Many of us here on boxingscene believe our sins in these forums don't count

[bluzi]

Yeah, Floyd was the best of this era

the best at maximizing profit, while cherrypicking opponents, ducking threats and boring us with his safety first style against overmatched no hopers

who wouldn't want to earn 30 millions each time, for running and playing tag for 36 min?

Not a floyd fan , but your abit stretching here... he outboxed ppl , which is a different dimension to boxing you seem to promote , not everyone can be exciting as Wlad (see you put him as your fav) but whatever mate your a hater ... it shows .... there is no way that Floyd isnt more entertaining then Wlad ... no WAY so if you put Wlad in your fav it 100% make me beleive you pick fav not according to boxing styles but other reasons(which is fine i dont mind it ) but if you do , please avoid criticising other ppl styles cuz you dont care about any of that....

Pacquiao won in old style scoring even though Floyd used illegal IV. If I was going to get in a street fight I would prefer Manny to be with me, Floyd would dance away.

What exactly do you mean by old style scoring?

That idiot has been throwing that same BS out for years like it stumps Floyd's supporters. First of all, Floyd is arguably still a HOF'r if you completely erase his run at 47. And he tries to throw out "primed elite" welterweight because guys like Manny and Mosley were past their physical primes. Totally disregarding that Floyd was as well. Then he tries to **** on guys like JMM and Hatton, P4P guys who moved up to fight Floyd. But the reality is Floyd and Hatton are roughly the same age and turned pro at roughly the same time. And in the years that proceeded their welterweight clash. Hatton fought exclusively at 140, while Floyd came all the wsy from from 130 to eventually get Hatton at 47. So unless Floyd hit puberty at 30, there's not a lotta size difference there. And he'll **** on JMM who did quite well at 47 against a guy he claims is better than Floyd. Not to mention he completely ****s on Baldomir who was the lineal champ. Ironically, the lineal title meant nothing when Floyd fought Baldomir. But now means everything when they wanna see GGG fight a jr middleweight. Dude's a f.uck ret@rd and only comuc relief when I'm really bored.

What exactly do you mean by old style scoring?

Scoring blindfolded.

[TrueBoxingFan23]

Before the excoriation that will
Come I would love for the writer of this narrative and Roach and YOU to name the WelterWeight PRIME ELITE's that May jr fought that defined his career

And if you can't then you or they should admit it and just admit that you followed the dribble of the fraud of boxing history

But

If you can name WW prime elites then I will gladly bow the knee and shut me mouth

So what will you do??? The same dribble or come clean

If that's the case name Pacs! Please because everyone Pac fought Floyd fought first! So who? And who didn't he fight? I'm a fan of both including Khan, Garcia, Peterson, Ward, Wilder, Thurman, Porter, Rigo, Donair, Walters, Jacobs, Spence, Charlie and the list goes on! Stop being a fan boy and just be a fan of boxing

Best of his Generation

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is by the best of his generation and will go down as one of the best ever. Money May was probably his greatest as a lightweight when he defeated the likes of Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, and Angel Mandfredy. He was so fast, quick, and powerful, and just a finisher for the division at that time everyone knew eventually he would get his shine and be the top of the sport one day.

As he moved up in weight to me he lost his killer instinct to finish guys but his skills where skill just on another level as he continued facing the better welterweights and junior middleweights.

Now his generation I don't know if there would be more than a handful that you would call legends/all time greats because you had a mix bag of guys who didn't live up to their potential, you had guys who came up way to fast and got burnt out on the sport, and you had very few who were cross over superstars.

I would say Money May's generation was solid but nothing special compared to the older generations of boxers.
